flexsim live data to another program (excel, note pad, the web)

I am looking for a way to display the output data while the simulation is running outside of flexsim. It could be at a note pad or excel table. For example, every 20 seconds, it will check the content of a queue and generate a new entry at a note pad or excel file, or uploading it on a webpage? Can this be done on flexsim?

@Roger W,

Yes, this can be done with FlexSim.

You can write to Excel using the commands that start with excel.., such as excelopen(), excelwritenum(), excelclose(), etc.

You can also write to text files (which can be viewed with Notepad) using the file commands, such as fileopen(), fpt(), fileclose(), etc.

You can also upload data to a web server. See Web Communication Within FlexSim
